I know this is an old thread, but wondering about ECNL RL vs. MLS Next AD for U13. I know coach and teammates matter less than league, but let's assume those factors are roughly equal or balance each other out. Is one better than the other for long term? I saw a rumor on here about MLS absorbing ECNL for boys, any truth to that?

They suck.


Who doesn’t suck?


Trump. If Trump started a soccer club it would be the best club ever.

FVU did multiple sessions for feeder club players starting Oct last year. Many offers went out as soon as the Feb 1 window opened. Some good players didn’t get offers, amazingly. Received FVU offer on Feb 1, decided to go MLSN HG instead. Others did similar with alternate ECNL clubs.

Check out their insta page. Their schedule is out. Note that current team members will be at the tryouts as it’s just a regular practice for them. So if u figure out who they are and hang with them skill wise, you have a good chance.

Ignore comments saying they suck. They will lose a lot but it’s the only club in the area that will allow you to use all the techy skills you learn in small group training under match conditions because they DGAF abt winning or losing. Good luck!

Please proceed immediately to retirement. Do not pass go. Do not collect anything. Just pivot now while you still can. Strong backup options include pickleball, fishing, or if you really want to stay elite…curling.

As we speak, the world is spiraling because you have not been recruited by a top MLS or ECNL team. Phones are not ringing. Emails are not coming. Mom and dad are currently in crisis mode trying to figure out what to tell the neighbors.

Time is of the essence. Act now.


The same applies to your comedic career. You should retire from posting as this was neither funny nor informative.

They have not started yet but I imagine you must be with the club as they just announced their schedule today.
. I'm the PP. My 2014 already accepted an offer from a different club but I've had my eye on them. Hard to believe perhaps but it was pure coincidence. Thx

The is trolling since this is a forum about 2014. None of these kids are in high school. Smh


You're right. Their trolling game is strong. I did not even decode that one. My bad.

My answer still remains the same though if it were the case. I have a 2014 in a competing club and I have the Veo and Trace recordings of our matches against them. English coming off the sidelines is easy to hear from the coaches of SYC Pre-MLS Next, Pre-MLS Next A and Pre-MLS Next II in the 2014 age group.


Of course. This is just a bad person looking to hook someone so they can drop a few stereotypes/go on a thinly veiled racist rant.
